Come on Alex!! After your ring trip, GET THAT centre exhaust section & air intake mod & lets REALLY SEE what good ole Phil CAN DO! 300+ BHP? 🤞👍😉
😎🇬🇧
I got a Peugeot for sale if you are interested it hade new mot and sport exhaust
Rich always looks like he’s popped out the mines to weld Alex an exhaust
😂😂😂
That’s classic🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ooooh Looooord.
Someone had to say it.
🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Boosted Boris should come out of retirement for this one
For real
I will be dissapointed if he doesn't
hell yeah! hahhahaah Congrats on the 1m subs, you deserve it!
That would be unreal
Yes definitely boosted Boris is hilarious
Please give Bruno some screen time to explain everything he was talking about, that was actually super interesting!
What I love about Bruno is he is still doing that proper old school tuning. Unlike 90% of tuners that just slap a "Stage 1 remap" on a car and that's it.
And those lot who flash a map on really dont know what theyre doing
Oh god I hate the whole "stage" nonsense, it means absolutely nothing it's marketing crap brought over from America. Every chav in a Fiesta will talk about his Stage 2 tuning when in reality he's just got a poorly mapped car with a cheap airfilter and bodged exhaust.
I am certainly one of those “slap a stage 1 on and call it a day”. I definitely want a custom map like this but finding it difficult to find someone who’s actually good at it. The guy I knew before has unfortunately stopped mapping now
@@Ze-Germanzukthe stage nonsense also doesn’t really make sense cause some companies stage 3 will be another ones stage 1 😂, I get the idea it’s like if 2 cars are built by the same company and you said stage 1 and stage 3+ for example I’d expect the stage 3 too be like boosted and built asf where as the stage 1 is simple bolt ons and NA 🤷🏽♂️
@@FFL_ERROR at some point didn't stage 1 mean intake, exhaust and tune, stage 2 turbo, intercooler and injectors and stage 3 upgrading/modifying the internals of the engine?
Love the Donut reference with “Mo Powa Baby” 😂
I was enjoying brunos science. Maybe one for the v2 channel to let him explain it all? I didn't think tuners would go to that length of actually measuring intake pressure
Pressure and flow are directly related. You can work it out by doing all sorts of complicated maths and flow modelling but you can also just make a good guess at what's causing the issue and then stick a different shaped bit of pipe on the end and see if it makes the difference you were expecting to see.
(this is quite an interesting read)

He's a professional oldschool tuner. Thorough testing, not just slapping on a tune! Just beautiful.
This is what I love about Bruno’s ethos on tuning nothing Is a gain until he’s tested it everything has evidence as to how and why it works and it’s epic for a geek like me to get that kind of service ❤
I think Iissed it, what V6 is it running?

Richard is such a legend. Candid and straight to the point. Him and Tom in the same room would be funny
Edit. Bruno is a master of his craft
Bruno is such a legend, you can just feel the "howd I end up here?" Go through his mind while dealing with Alex 😂
Just an idea, the pipes from the header flange to the exhaust collector, you should ask Rich if he can make them equal length. The right side seems almost twice as long since it goes around the trans. I bet it would help power and the sound would be amazing.
Do you know what makes the iconic Subaru rumble that we all love? It's the unequal length exhaust headers. If it made some of that I'd say it's a fair trade-off for a little power loss.
@@farhanrahmatullah1615 However, equal length headers on a V12 Merc or Honda CBX inline 6 make them sound outstanding, much better than you Beetle sounding Subaru engines.
@@farhanrahmatullah1615scoobies with equal length sound very nice too
Equal Length with X pipe. Will be the Best in terms of Noise and Power. Got to say 10bhp and 20Mm extra for the extra length for the Intake is brilliant!!
@@farhanrahmatullah1615thats all well and good but the OP is right, they are more restrictive. Plus, Phil is neither a Subaru, nor does it have a Subaru engine 🤷
Awesome seeing Phil on the channel again
Come on Alex!! After your ring trip, GET THAT centre exhaust section & air intake mod & lets REALLY SEE what good ole Phil CAN DO! 300+ BHP? 🤞👍😉
😎🇬🇧
I wouldn't be surprised to see a 'Ive moved to the nurburgring!' Video in the future... If he could ever part ways with his soul mates Rory and Taylor. Alex is fluent in German so it's a no brainer really. He seems to spend more time there than in England anyway 😂
All three moving there for a few months in summer to drive some crazy shitboxes on the ring would be fantastic. Buy cars, pimp them, thrash them on the ring and sell them to buy something better.
Move to the Dutch-German border and do a coffeeshop rating/nurburgring combo.
@@Tomazack If it's done in that order then it's gonna be the slowest round around the Nürburgring ever.
Only issue is that TUV doesn't allow (almost) anything in terms of modifications to your car
@@rubeneeltink8607 Yeah, I've never seen a modified car at the Nordschleife...
Glad Phil is back. Please make more videos and carry on the series from car throttle. Love the new channel. Keep it up 🎉
Alex has the humor, josh has the looks, Taylor has the sexy sass, Rory has.. a camera..
Y'all are one black cab away from having a 3rd channel.
Finally getting some phil content !.. ps get some true dual 3" exhaust on him so he can breath and you might see another 20hp or possibly more cuz no offence but that tiny exhaust pipe hurts you alot fam .. but yeah keep killing it brotha peace
Great to see Phil on the Chanel again. Keep the vids and podcast coming team! Well done!
Love when Bruno and Rich are on the channel.
Love this video guys! Great to see Phil again and the soundtrack was superb! Awesome! Also, great to see Bruno and Rich again, those guys know their stuff!
Enjoyed seeing Phil again. It's a cool little build you've done here on this car. Lot of time and love spent on it. I like that it's one you've kept.. and just improved.
Between Rory and Taylor and now Josh, you really are bringing the eye candy to this channel, aren't you, Alex?
Great follow up to the Nurburgring series. Keep ‘em coming…
Love to see phill come out the last time I seen this car it was with car throttle great to see you thriving on you own and your mates
I was there the day Phil blew up on the Ring. Didn't see you until after you had the bad news it would need to stay there, so didn't feel like it was the right time to bother you for a photo and a chat. I'm glad Phil is finally ready for another go at it.
Amazing to see the car back Alex, great video as always!
Man, after going back and watching the previous group because it came up on the recommended vids..
Boooy, Alex was legitimately the life and soul of that channel.
So glad he's on his own now.
I like both channels a lot.
I love my mk1 mx5, I got it 7 years ago because of you! I'll never sell mine
Fantastic! You've built up such a genuinely amazing bunch of friends of the channel, so much character!!!
2:06 Wasn't expecting that dog edit roast 🤣
Phil is what brought me originally to Car throttle as i bought mine about the same time that he bought Phil, but sadly mine was too rusted on the inside but ive always liked the phil videos and its good to see hes putting time and effort again into him as i feared it became ' a show car' for a while and a garage queen, nice to see it actually being driven
It's so good to see another Phil video after so long, hello again old friend
Loving the content recently Alex 👌
I love this!!! ❤❤❤
Thank you Alex, Rory. John & the entirity of all the Crew & lads making all of this possible for us to enjoy at our demand! Absolute legends! ^.^
Awesome video, look forward to part 2
Love hearing Bruno speak about his craft.
I'm pretty sure most of the gains with the intake were from taking the air filters off though... thats why it wasn't so much of a gain once they were refitted and it was packaged into the engine bay properly
Yessss! Phil!!!!!! Alex I found you when you decided to do this V6 swap. My dads shop was doing them in the states for a while. I went back and watched all of project mx5 as I waited for Phil to get his v6 and then it happened and phil disappeared. So happy to see him back out.
😊
You need to try and get the LH and RH branches equal length , run a Cat in each branch and run the two pipes separate as far back down the car as you can, merge just before the silencer. Or put in a decent X-pipe just after the cats and run twin pipes all the way to the tips. That merge at the gear box with unequal lengths from the manifolds is robbing a lot of mid-range.
SO HAPPY TO SEE PHIL BACK ON THE CHANNEL!!!
Truly awesome channel and video guys, the camaraderie of all involved is incredible roll on next week 👍🏻🏴
That part with the dog had me dying 😂 absolutely brilliant.
Fucking hell Phil's breakdown was 6years ago?! Insane, so great seeing him back!
Amazing content Alex and the team. Can't wait to see the video whatever it is, when it pops up. Hope you guys are good. Much love
Quite impressed about the potential of the V6 with some more breathing mods. Nice to see Bruno has the knowledge about air intake length & how it affects the torque etc, manufacturers intake systems often look like long bendy messes to the untrained eye but it's usually set up for optimum torque across the range
Isn't Phil using the same center section from the stock Mazda engine? If that's the case, you've almost doubled the amount of flow going through the exhaust. I don't remember if that got changed during the engine swap.
Yessss MX5 content!
More guest stars .. very nice 👍🏻
And I hope you let Rich do a workshop burnout!
Nice series Alex 👍
Definitely get that centre section of the exhaust done Alex. That engine should be easily making 300NM something is restricting it for sure and if Bruno reckons it's the exahust I'd get that sorted first.
Im so glad you left ct i had no idea that it wasnt your channel before i really enjoy your content im a huge car nerd myself have loved them since i can remember my first word was probably car haha keep up the great work alex we will support you always!
This was excellent boys, knocking them out the park as always!
Phil is the reason I had an MX5 for 10 years. Also the reason I had more power, and the reason I interviewed for CT.... I didn't get it, but was nice to meet Alex. Hi BTW....
So nice to see a tuner that has a clue, (rather than a flash) actually looking at intake pressure and length, (ie pulse wave etc) and where a restriction will be. Classy...;D
Thursday evening has been saved!
is the 2 into 1 better? or would you be better off with dual exhaust all the way through with a x pipe in the mid?
Great videos loving the content, what to use the code for tirestreets, but how does it work getting them fitted?
If Rich has still got his crazy off-roaders you should do a garage tour a bit like when Taylor was introduced to the channel. He did my roll cage a few years ago and I remember him showing me his (I think) highest lifted Range Rover in the UK.
In any case he’s a top bloke and did an amazing job on my e36.
Another incredible video, as expected Keep doing what you love!
@AutoalexCars you know that is a bot
Love the return of Phil! ❤
If the engine in Phil is the same v6 jag engine that was also a Ford mondeo exhaust engine .... then there are exhaust headers/extractors/manifolds that were/are from toyo sports & a y pipe that make a decent amount of power !
I love Bruno's honesty. 👍🤣
ALEX! Omg! You NEED to get frame rails on Phil!!! They made my Miata feel 10 years newer and so much more stiff!!! Highly recommend!! 16:08
A great example of the difference between a proper dyno tune by someone who knows what they're doing vs a flash tune.
this is my favorite car channel at the moment. keep it up guys!
This may be an expensive idea, but I think Phil would look great with a carbon bonnet, which additionally would reduce quite a significant amount of weight on the front end.
Those remap cuts are AMAZING!🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow so nostalgic seeing ‘project MX-5’ in the title ❤
Approved the exhaust. TT Performance.
This very car is why I have my own mx-5. I really like to see it again 🙂
So glad to see more Pill, started playing the new forza, Racing with MX5 atm. only one Skin to put on it, Big phill
When the cat “might just fall off” 😅
U guys are getting awesome, that was a wicked polished episode, I recon u should make television series soon too, and sell them for gazillions XX
Cannot wait to make it a hoot
So looking forward to the next episode this stuff reminds me of old school Top Gear before Clarkson got fired.
great vid. thanks once again!
i'm missing a lot of info. did you change the plugs?
bruno said to increase the length of the air filter tube for the test, and then increased it more for the final fit. but then you tested it with the filter on, so maybe thats why it made less power.
fuel used?
did you change anything in the ecu map?
remind me, its an N/A right?
5-30 isnt it a bit thin for the ring?? old oil condition?
brakes? fluids?
lastly, you havent showed us the back box configuration to make it flow better.
thx!
Love the reference from James at Donut…. More Power Baby!
When doing the next exhaust upgrade, please upgrade the exhaust manifolds as well. You may find yourself looking for even more power later and find that as a restriction, then kick yourself 🙃
Love phil content! Can’t wait to see the power gains with the new centre section 👌🏻
Love the videos just started my own channel very inspiring seeing Phil in full force have started doing a conversion on an MX5
Perfect timing
Rich always looks so zoned out when Alex talks like he's tired of his stupid ideas. Best thing to come to youtube this channel
Epic vid as always... curious to see that R8 and GSXR in action ❤
I know in newer kits the exhaust manifolds are much bigger in diameter almost by a whole inch
Its time! Phil Needs a supercharger! 😉
Bet Rich absoloutely loves you lol! Amazing video as always!
Come on Alex!! After your ring trip, GET THAT centre exhaust section & air intake mod & lets REALLY SEE what good ole Phil CAN DO! 300+ BHP? 🤞👍😉
😎🇬🇧
Alex dropping the "Mo powa babeh". Love it!
love these engines, still wanting to put one into an 80s 300zx. that is if i can find a good aj, i might just settle for the more common duratec
Ah the joys of modifying, theres always a tuner ready to remind you whilst your new exhaust and fancy intakes are delightful...you have been a bit silly 😂 whilst adding £££'s to your budget
It's the one we've been waiting for
LOVE IT ALEX
Not sure on have the air intakes/filters sucking the hot air from the radiator. May increase power on the dyno but on track with the bonnet closed the air intake temps will be very high and decrease power and torque.
we need more than one video a week man
What’s happening with the diesel mx5?
He answered in the podcast. He sold due to it being too much for the channel so early on.
But Alex come on you owe a us diesel mx5
@@AK.2425 it would of been cool but makes sense
ITB's Alex, ITB's!
This would also be a great opportunity to put you in Phil up against Gab of OneLapHeroes in like a stock engine MX-5, and/or Kostas in his LFX NA MX-5 😁
Wait what!! The mx5 revived :0
hope you dont need two tow trucks to get back. Tho for air flow why not just stick the air filter out the top of the bonnet, like ken block did on the hoonicorn with the turbos being serious with that idea. Or make a giant bonnet vent half cold air in and half warm air out like the one on a nissan skyline r34 nismo vented bonnet if it suits phil just half of the slats facing into the engine bay for cold air in then the other half at the back with the slats facing out so warm airs forced out the engine bay to the rear. But its nice to see after owning phil for years hes still getting worked on upgraded changed and all that still i like that and hes not just been sold after the forst version of him was done like some people on youtube do (no-one specifically)
Damn you with these cliff hanger endings! I will NEVER be satisfied enough with AutoAlex Cars content! It's too good!..... So, same time next week?
That valved exhaust doesn't seem to make any difference because when you revved the car on the ramp hardly any condensate came out of the valved exhaust when it was open compared to the side with the box on it 4:37
Love how everytime we see Rich he genuinely looks like his bucket of f**ks is well and truly empty and then builds a kick ass exhaust system. Great video as always 😊
Easily best channel on YT, ❤ it
